Senor Bond is the confident choice here with Rabbitatit, Granston and Emperor Cat set to fight it out for the places. Senor Bond has bags of speed and is a scopey colt who is dropped in class. It will be a surprise if the Bryan Smart charge did not prove good enough to take this contest. Rabbitatit is a consistent sort and will thereabouts, but she can be opposed as she looks a little high in the weights at present. Emperor Cat has got plenty of ability but was well beaten last time and looks one not to place too much trust in until he starts to hint at a return to his best. Granston therefore could give our selection the most to do, although he was well beaten behind Catie Dash last time out. Not too many of these are in form at present, so we are happy to side with Senor Bond.
